Yeah, I know where I am

They make you feel so at home here, sometimes you forget that you’re not. In my game story from last night I said Fred Lewis flied out to the wall in the bottom off the ninth (since fixed on the Gate) to end the game.

Anyway, you can thank the city of Cincinnati for today’s ungodly early start (9:35 a.m.). Every Sunday of Labor Day weekend, 500,000 people cram the riverfront for a festival and fireworks show. They close the roads at 6 and want to make sure all the ballpark traffic is gone.

A little bit of news from today’s pregame session with Bruce Bochy:

First off, we won’t know until tomorrow whom the Giants are going to bring up from the minors. Some of them won’t join the Giants until Tuesday anyway because they are needed with Fresno, whose season ends tomorrow. The Grizzlies are playing tonight in Sacramento. Some of the callups might not even know yet they are being promoted.

Also, Bochy strongly suggested he will use Thursday’s offday to tweak the rotation, although he said that for now he will not pull back on Matt Cain or Tim Lincecum despite their high pitch counts. It could be the team will try to work it so Barry Zito can’t lose 20 games or to give Kevin Correia a rest and look at someone coming up from the minors — all speculation on my part right now.
